Status in doubt for Sunday Eskridge (concussion) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game in San Francisco, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Eskridge has been recovering from a concussion since Week 1, which didn't allow him to get back on the practice field until Thursday. He was limited in that session, and his designation for Week 4 indicates he hasn't made enough progress through the protocol for head injuries to make a play to suit up Sunday. With Tyler Lockett (hip) questionable, Seattle may be even more shorthanded at wide receiver this weekend. In the event both Lockett and Eskridge are sidelined, DK Metcalf (foot), Freddie Swain, Penny Hart and a member of the practice squad (perhaps Phillip Dorsett) could compose the team's receiving corps.

Limited in return to practice Eskridge (concussion) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact While Eskridge made his first noticeable step through the concussion protocol after seven consecutive absences from practice, the Seahawks' top two wide receivers both experienced downgrades in activity level. From Wednesday to Thursday, Tyler Lockett (hip) went from limited to a non-participant, while DK Metcalf (foot) was added to the injury report as limited in the latter session. It's unclear who among the trio will be available Sunday at San Francisco, but Eskridge himself likely has a few more phases to get through before he gains clearance to play.

In line to practice Thursday Eskridge (concussion) is expected to return to practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. "He can't practice today," coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday. "...

Impact Eskridge sat out Weeks 2 and 3 due to a concussion, which continued to keep him off the practice field Wednesday. Fortunately for Eskridge, Carroll believes the rookie second-round pick will clear the final phase of the protocol for head injuries in time for Thursday's session. If he does so, Eskridge will have a good chance to make himself available for Sunday's road showdown with the 49ers.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined Thursday Eskridge (concussion) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Eskridge hasn't been seen on the practice field since Week 1 prep, as he sustained a concussion in the Seahawks' season opener. Until he begins to fit in some drills, he'll be embedded in the NFL's protocol for head injuries. While Eskridge has been sidelined, the rookie second-rounder hasn't been able to challenge Freddie Swain (back) for the role of No. 3 wide receiver behind DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

No practice Wednesday Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Eskridge (concussion) won't practice Wednesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Carroll provided a glimmer of hope for Eskridge on Monday, telling Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic that the rookie wide receiver could put himself into a position to return Sunday against the Vikings, depending on how he fares in practice. But with Wednesday's absence, Eskridge hasn't practiced since sustaining a concussion in the season opener. He'll have two more chances this week to get back on the field before the Seahawks decide whether he'll take a designation into the weekend.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

May be available for Week 3 Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Eskridge (concussion) has a chance to play against the Vikings depending on how he handles the practice workload this week, Michael-Shawn Dugar...

Impact Eskridge wasn't able to practice at all leading up to Week 2 and didn't suit up against the Titans. Carroll's comments make it sound like the rookie second-round pick will make his NFL debut against the Vikings if he doesn't suffer a setback during practice this week. If healthy, he could carve out a role as the Seahawks' No. 3 wideout behind DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to out Eskridge (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest.

Impact The rookie second-round pick was listed as doubtful following Friday's injury report so it always seemed unlikely Eskridge would play. Expect Penny Hart and Freddie Swain to take over the vacated snaps behind nominal starters DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Eskridge had made no visible progress through the league's protocol for head injuries as of Thursday, with no practice to that point in the week. Meanwhile, Penny Hart (concussion) doesn't have a designation at all for Sunday after clearing the protocol. As a result, Hart and Freddie Swain are slated to be the Seahawks' depth wide receivers behind starters DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett this weekend.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Still not practicing Eskridge (concussion) didn't practice Thursday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's unclear if Eskridge was present at Thursday's practice, but he wasn't even at team facilities Wednesday, signifying his concussion may be serious. Meanwhile, fellow wide receiver Penny Hart has been a full participant in practice this week, but he still may have to pass the final stage of the protocol for head injuries. Eskridge seems to be trending toward a DNP on Sunday against the Titans, which would leave the Seahawks somewhat shorthanded in the receiving corps behind DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Freddie Swain.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not present for practice Eskridge (concussion) isn't at the team facility Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact The second-round rookie likely is still dealing with symptoms after suffering a concussion in his NFL debut. He played 12 offensive snaps in the 28-16 win over Indianapolis, taking two carries for 22 yards and one catch for six yards. Freddie Swain should pick up a few extra snaps If Eskridge is out for Week 2 against Tennessee.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Diagnosed with concussion Eskridge suffered a concussion during Sunday's 28-16 win over the Colts, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Prior to his departure, Eskridge rushed twice for 22 yards and caught his lone target for six yards. The rookie second-round pick will need to clear the league's concussion protocol in order to play against the Titans next Sunday. With Penny Hart also dealing with a concussion, DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Freddie Swain are the only healthy wideouts on Seattle's active roster.

Asante Samuel Jr. leads list of non-first-round picks who'll stand out in 2021 season

Elevates to full practice Eskridge (toe) practiced in full Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact A toe injury from the offseason program lingered into training camp, limiting Eskridge to one appearance in the exhibition season (two touches for 28 yards from scrimmage against the Chargers on Aug. 28). While he kicked off Week 1 prep with a limited practice Wednesday, he was unhindered one day later and is set to face the Colts in a road matchup Sunday. Eskridge likely will vie with Freddie Swain for reps as the Seahawks' third wide receiver behind DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Limited practice Wednesday Eskridge (toe) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Eskridge picked up a toe issue in mandatory minicamp in mid-June and kicked off training camp on the PUP list. Since Seattle activated him Aug. 17, he made one preseason appearance Aug. 28, recording one catch (on one target) for 19 yards and one nine-yard carry. It appears the team still is managing Eskridge's health, perhaps to keep him as fresh as possible for game action. He'll have two more chances to bump up to full participation before week's end.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Garners 28 total yards in win Eskridge secured his only target for 19 yards and rushed once for nine yards in the Seahawks' 27-0 preseason win over the Chargers on Saturday night.

Impact The rookie's pro debut went well when considering Eskridge was highly efficient yardage-wise with his two opportunities. The second-round pick came into the contest with a chance of unseating Freddie Swain for the No. 3 receiver job, and considering the latter failed to bring in his only target, Eskridge may have done enough to ascend into that role ahead of Week 1.

AUGUST 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

To make pro debut GM John Schneider said Eskridge will play 10-to-15 snaps during Saturday's preseason contest against the Chargers, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Eskridge's draft pedigree as a 2021 second-round pick gave him a better than normal chance to open his rookie season as the Seahawks' No. 3 wide receiver behind DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett (groin). But a toe injury lingered into training camp, forcing Eskridge to spend three weeks on the PUP list. Since getting back on the practice field Aug. 17, he progressed enough in a short amount of time to challenge Freddie Swain for the role of third receiver. An impressive showing from Eskridge in Seattle's exhibition finale could be enough to lock up the job.

AUGUST 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Looks healthy in practice Eskridge has been healthy and productive at practice this week, according to Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times.

Impact Condotta Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times that the rookie second-round pick prefers to be called "Dee" rather than "D'Wayne", though the Seahawks still have him listed under the latter name on their official website. He's making a late push for the No. 3 receiver role in Seattle, perhaps able to overcome a three-week stint on the PUP list given that Freddie Swain is his main competition. The Seahawks under Pete Carroll have sometimes used a rotation for that No. 3 role, but the decision to use a second-round pick on Eskridge suggests he's expected to win the spot full-time sooner than later. The rookie could make his first appearance in a Seahawks uniform during Saturday night's exhibition matchup with the Chargers.

AUGUST 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Saturday's game Eskridge was seen working on the field before Saturday's preseason game against the Broncos but will not play, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Eskridge was activated from the PUP list Aug. 17 but will have to wait to make his professional debut. He's expected to be ready for Week 1 against the Colts, and his ability to return to practice in recent days is a positive sign in that regard. Eskridge will be competing for the third receiver role with Freddie Swain.

AUGUST 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off PUP list The Seahawks activated Eskridge (toe) from the PUP list Tuesday after he passed a physical, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Eskridge will have nearly four weeks to prepare for Seattle's regular-season opener Sunday, Sept. 12 at Indianapolis. Coach Pete Carroll told John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site that Eskridge will be "ready" for Week 1 and may even be able to suit up for the team's third preseason game Aug. 28 versus the Chargers. For the time being, Eskridge will continue to improve his conditioning with an eye toward suiting up for that contest.

AUGUST 17, 2021 • Associated Press

Should practice next week Coach Pete Carroll said Friday that Eskridge (toe) will come off the PUP list next week, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact The second-round pick was limited at June minicamp and still hasn't been cleared to practice at training camp. The Seahawks expect that clearance to happen within the next few days, and while Eskridge still has time to prepare for Week 1, the missed time could impact his standing on the depth chart. Then again, the Seahawks don't have much else behind DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, seemingly relying on Freddie Swain as their No. 3 at the moment.

AUGUST 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Continues to ramp up conditioning Coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday that Eskridge (toe) has put together five "really good days" in a row of running as he improves his conditioning, John Boyle of the Seahawks' offici...

Impact Eskridge remains on the preseason PUP list, the result of a toe injury that has lingered since mandatory minicamp back in June. Considering Carroll's comments, however, Eskridge may be closing in on a return to the field, which would give him a chance to get in some exhibition action before Week 1. The 2021 second-round pick is a long shot to suit up Saturday in Las Vegas, but the Seahawks have a pair of contests after that for Eskridge to make an impact.

AUGUST 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ramping up conditioning Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Eskridge (toe) will start to increase his conditioning in the near future, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle repo...

Impact A toe injury followed Eskridge into training camp, resulting in the rookie second-rounder residing on the PUP list so far during training camp. Carroll relayed the Seahawks' equipment staff made adjustments to Eskridge's shoes, which have alleviated discomfort in his foot while running. There's no telling when Eskridge will be cleared to practice, but Seattle can activate him from the PUP list at any point before Week 1.

AUGUST 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Attempting to get past toe issue Head coach Pete Carroll said Eskridge is tending to a nagging toe injury, but he's resumed running as the Seahawks attempt to get him healthy, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 K...

Impact A 2021 second-round pick, Eskridge dealt with the same issue during mandatory minicamp back in June, so it's a bit concerning that it lingers more than a month and a half later. Currently residing on the PUP list, he'll enter the sweepstakes for the No. 3 wide receiver role in Seattle once he's able to join his teammates at practice. Eskridge's primary competition in camp and the preseason will be incumbent Freddie Swain.

JULY 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on PUP Eskridge (toe) is on the PUP list for the start of training camp, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact With the toe injury also limiting him in June minicamp, Eskridge isn't off to a great start in his quest to win the No. 3 receiver role. Granted, he still has a month and a half to prepare for Week 1, and competition isn't exactly fierce with Freddie Swain being the likely alternative.
